Dumfries House Offers Regal Dining Experience in King Charles's Favorite Room
The King's Foundation opens the Pink Dining Room to the public for an 18th-century themed dinner, supporting charitable initiatives.
- Guests can enjoy a three-course meal authentic to the 1700s, served by a traditional butler in the Pink Dining Room at Dumfries House.
- The dining room, known for its pink-tinted Rococo plasterwork, is the best-preserved room in the mansion, saved by King Charles in 2007.
- Meals include dishes like poached salmon, roasted venison, and lemon and pistachio syllabub, reflecting culinary fashions of the era.
- The experience is priced at £375 per person, with proceeds supporting The King's Foundation's educational programs for skilled craftspeople.
- Dining dates are selected, and the initiative follows similar experiences at other royal residences, aiming to preserve heritage techniques.
